(Choice D) D There will be close to 707070 TVs but probably not exactly 707070 TVs not showing a sports channel.

Answer 1

To predict how many TVs will not be showing a sports channel, we need to consider the total number of TVs on display and subtract the number of TVs that are showing sports channels.

Total TVs on display = 110110110 TVs

Sports channels = 777 sports channels

So, the number of TVs not showing a sports channel = Total TVs - TVs showing sports channels

Number of TVs not showing a sports channel = 110110110 TVs - 777 sports channels

Now, let's calculate this:

110110110 - 777 = 110109333

So, there will be **exactly 110109333 TVs** not showing a sports channel.

None of the provided answer choices (A, B, C, D) match this exact number.
